Showcase: Stelo Plug-in for SAP Web IDE by Arch

Stelo is an SAP Fiori app generator that accelerates the delivery of custom apps. Use the Stelo plug-in for Web IDE with its single, standard SAP Gateway service and powerful processing engine to create and manage your Fiori apps.

The Stelo Web IDE plugin automatically generates Fiori apps based on its definition configured in the Stelo server. Multiple templates are available for your apps, and lots of features such as attachments and the ability to save to draft are pre-delivered. Once generated, developers can continue to tailor the look and feel of the app and add any further front-end logic, exploiting all the capabilities of SAPUI5.

When it comes to communication, rather than building individual SAP Gateway services for each app, all app data is managed via a single pre-delivered service, even attachments. There is no need to develop a suite of custom SAP Gateway services to support your Fiori apps.

Stelo includes a process integration layer, which enables the business processes underlying your Fiori app to be modelled easily. It is configuration-driven to accelerate development and provides the flexibility to incorporate complex business logic. Some of the key features include workflow definition for multi-step processes and a centralised control for all SAP updates.

Architectural diagram/Data Flow Chart

Stelo is installed on the target SAP system as an SAP Add-On. A number of pre-delivered Gateway services are activated to support communication with both out-of-the-box apps and any Stelo-generated apps. The Stelo HR launcher is an optional component that can be accessed by the apps.

The Stelo plugin is hosted by Arch in the cloud, and accessed directly from within SAP Web IDE. Stelo-generated apps are deployed to the Fiori launchpad as per any standard library app or custom app.
